Mayor Val Dalley said: “It has been two years since we consulted the public about the library and it was clear what people wanted as 85% supported the town council taking responsibility for the building and service.

“A previous consultation in 2014 showed that green spaces including parks, play areas, sports pitches and other outdoor amenities were very important to residents of the parish. I am proud that the council is carrying out what people wanted.”

Camborne Town Council will be granting a 99-year lease to Camborne RFC for the rugby pitch at Camborne Recreation Ground at a peppercorn rent in keeping with the campaign to “Keep Rugby at Camborne Rec” which led to more than 4,000 people signing a petition.

Councillors have also instructed that a similar new lease be drawn up for Beacon Cricket Club as the town council said it wished to help all local clubs grow and prosper. There will be an improved maintenance programme implemented at all the green space sites and a prioritised plan for investment and improvement of the facilities.

Deputy mayor Colin Godolphin added: “It is a great day for Camborne and all residents of the parish as it will not only provide quality green spaces for the youth of today but also the youth of the future.”

Much-needed repairs will be made to the Passmore Edwards Library before the service will return there next spring. The town council will be moving its offices to the first floor of the library in May 2018.
